Work on such a "warm" support is a challenge, but also quite a bit of fun. My usual flesh tones came out very chalky. However, the eraser is a great tool on a support like this - I was smudging the eraser around with abandon for a while and it had a lovely softening, blending effect. I definitely like that - it felt a bit like painting, pushing and pulling wet paint around.

I like this one very much. And your self portrait below too. On this, I am sure I wouldn't have made such a bold color choice for the support but you have made that work so well here. Brilliant!
Beautiful Rose! I love the sparkle in the eyes and the light you have captured. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks Ann and Kasie! I am really enjoying just trying things out - experimenting and not being too worried over what happens next can be very freeing.
Thanks again for the encouragement ladies.
